DISCOVER ONE OF CAYMAN’S AMAZING TREASURES

div-3

Strange as it may seem, there is really a place called “Hell” in Cayman’s paradise.

Located in the district of West Bay on Grand Cayman, Hell is a unique natural wonder of rugged blackened limestone outcropping. The jagged formations are a result of millions of years of geological evolution, due to acid rain and consumption of the rock by carbonate-loving organisms. This erosion has left an eerie and desolate looking landscape earning this location its highly appropriate name. The rocks are estimated to be 10 to 15 million years old.

Visitors have been flocking here for decades, for bragging rights that they have “been to Hell and back” or have simply taken someone’s advice to “go to Hell!”

Naturally, the ‘Devil’ roams at Hell and no visit is complete without a photo taken with him, you may also catch a glimpse of an “Angel” while on site.

A postcard dispatched from Hell Post Office is also a good way to share a memorable visit to this site.

Hell is located on lands owned by the Cayman Islands Government, as well as on adjoining areas, which are privately owned and offers a similar experience.

  • star rating  Interesting historical story that goes along with the place. My teenage daughters loved send postcards out to their friends with the post office from hell stamp on it.

    On arrival we visited the various shops and post office - go to the Red store - surprised that the person behind the counter was even dressed as a devil - and almost as old.
    We also looked at the rock formation - which were interesting.
    There are no real bus stops you just stand by the crossroads and they stop to pick you up

    star rating  I was a little disappointed as the pics are great. However, it's really a small market, but the locals who are there are very friendly and great to chat... read more with. I expected more handmade stuff, but not as much as I thought. I did buy some prints. I hate when you see the original artwork but then are sold a print. I went ahead and bought some, but would rather have originals. You might find a cheap shirt or bracelet. If room allows the there's a lady who handweaves baskets and purses. I didnt have room as I'm doing a carry on only, but she's worth a look at. It sits on the corner across from the water down past Kirk Freeport and Atlantis office. It's just one big tent with about 12-15 vendors. Maybe it's bigger during high season? IDK. Anyway if time permits go there. If not the shopping boutiques in the port area aren't badly priced anyway.

Our Driver was Jaime... read more and he was very entertaining telling us much about the grand Caymans as we went through the town. I personally enjoyed visiting hell it was fun experience and a chance to say we had been there. We got our passport stamped. Got a few postcards and some shirts and visited the rock formations we even took pictures. w did get delayed in Hell for while as one of the people on our tour went missing. Turns out she got on the wrong bus as there were three in our tour going the same places. But our tour guide and the people who own the shop were very attentive and helpful in trying to find her and doing everything they could to help.

    We loved it. Good pictures of very odd rock formations. We loved the gift shop all painted in blood red.... read more It was really cool. When we walked in the first thing we saw was an elderly gentleman, maybe in his late 80s in a devil's outfit who said, welcome to hell. We started looking around and the little devil said what the hell are you looking to buy. Then a voice from the back said what the hell can I do for you. It went on for awhile. We couldn't help ourselves, we had to get pictures with the devil and send postcards to family back home as well as buy a shirt.

The turtle farm is great but do not go with this tour! We stayed 45 minutes and could have enjoyed 3 + hours there. This tour provides very limited access, so we could not see the lagoon or the predators. Go on your own and spend an afternoon snorkeling with the turtles. Go across the street and play with the dolphins. Dolphins were not an option on this tour. You can get around easy on bus system and enjoy all this much better without the tour. Our driver Wilmot provided very limited information, could not answer either of my two questions, and told us way too many times to go on trip advisor and give him five stars. We do not recommend this tour. Attached is a picture of Hell. More

    star rating  My family went to this Craft Market to get some souvenirs for friends and family back at home.

    I usually expect local vendors to be very aggressive... read more and pushy to make their sale but this place was completely different. Very laid back and allowed us to browse around without any pressure of buying something from them.

    When we found stuffs we wanted to buy, the vendors were extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Rosemary. The pricing was fair compare to other places selling similar stuff yet when we decided to buy a bunch, Rosemary took care of us.

    Highly recommend this place to shop for souvenirs.

It almost looked like lava from a volcano. The gift shop was really cute and the staff all used the word hell in every sentence; it was hilarious. I purchased several tee shirts and post cards. Can't wait to receive my post cards with a post mark from hell.
